My hero ; the Security Guard who stopped Seymour driving up the steps of parliament. Now want to know is he paid living wage?

What I don’t understand about the Musk / Trump purge going on is don’t those workers have any rights? Or can they just be fired at will?

Trade wars erupt via Donald Trumps tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China. Anyone who thinks this doesnt affect us needs a wake up call. Our government’s response? Nothing.

Realising how old I am ; not that far from Marianne Faithfull who I once arrogantly thought was old. Not that many years between us ; I met her once in an Old Delhi Hotel where many of our generation went in our quest for answers.

All these punch downs on “DEI” not just in the US. As if women don’t hold up half the sky and people of colour, black, those who choose to love others differently don’t have any contribution which needs to be promoted. Meritocracy is back and white men are feeling persecuted.

What did you’all think of Luxon’s big speech to 500 bosses? Me : Yawn. Boring.

I tried, honestly, to listen to Trump’s inaugural speech. Then I figured why am I punishing myself so early in the morning?

Who knew we had a hunting and fishing Minister? Who was it before James Meager was given this vital role?

Reshuffle kerfuffle. Simeon - little Mr Potholes now in charge of health. Andrew Bayly ACC? Minister of lying? OMG all too horrid to go on.

Ok then. I am going to do more on this platform. Promise. Musk and Zuckerberg digging in the Trump ditch. So pathetic.

Today’s joke ; If Trump thinks he can take over Panama he will have this Darien to answer to (and possibly Keats).

I know Xmas is family time, but really? Amanda has already ordered the matching pjs for the Luxon family. I was thinking up themes. Trainwreck anyone?

Winston rescued the greyhounds. Now do rodeos. And please Winston make it your last.

Well, well, well. The plot thickens around Winston being Rail Minister. Rumour is big shit fight between he and Seymour.

@nzctu.bsky.social Craig Renney being denied access to HEYFU lockup is a disgrace. Apparently working for an organisation that has 27 unions affiliated and more than 320,000 workers doesnt count.

There’s Talk like a Pirate Day. We could have “Talk like a CEO” Day with maximum mockery of Chris Luxon. Any takers?

New charter school announced by Seymour and friends: Ecole Francaise Internationale is a French language school that will take in both primary and secondary students and will be supervised by the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs. Have we really gone this off the planet?

Just have to put this here ; Winston Peters said he would be the first to re-enter Pike River Mine (never did). Now he's supporting an ACT MP for workplace health & safety who wouldn't know it if she tripped over it and probably think it's wasteful spending.

Friends are you following "Led by Donkeys". ? Great to remind us how awful Tories can be and are.

What an extraordinarily bizarre electoral system the Brits have. It's FPP, five year terms: f you are a Baron and can sit in the House of Lords, like former PM David Cameron you can come back into the government as Foreign Minister, despite not being elected. We may complain, but good gawd.

Nice to see some old friends on here. I am slowly working out how to do this Bluesky stuff and separate myself from X once and for all. For my health !
